Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith...

Well with all this hubub going about with people tasting like things, naturally, my own curiosity led me to taste myself, I must shamefully admit. Such an admission is... rather embarrassing as I'm sure you can imagine

Eggnog's pretty good!

[mr_a_fell]

I rather think so! Though I do fear that after a time, I might get tired of the flavor. Or worse, that it may make me ill. Quite a dilemma, you see.

Ed has never had eggnog before.

[mr_a_fell]

Oh it's quite good! Though to be honest, it is quite rich and sits heavily in the stomach, making it well and good for occasions, but is ill-advised for every day recreational drinking.

My dear, dear man. It never occurred to you to have someone else lick you to see what you tasted like? This is the best way that I've found to avoid the shame of having to lick onesself.

I'm told I taste quite like my "cologne" but sweeter.

...This whole thing is actually rather funny.

[mr_a_fell]

Oh! I hadn't even considered that. Though I do fear it would be difficult to even find someone who would be willing to do that and not derive some sort of perverse pleasure from it.

As for your.. um.. taste... That is quite regrettable and you have my sympathies, good man. Shall we meet for tea soon?

[theos_oinos]

It's my perspective that "perverse pleasure" is part of the perks to this situation, but I can see how you might not see it that way. It's a shame, really. Egg nog is quite good for a treat.

...I taste like grape sorbet, so not quite as regrettable as you might think. It kinda follows me around, as you might imagine.

And yes. Tea, indeed.

[mr_a_fell]

Oh! Grape sorbet? That sounds marvelous! It is regrettable that I haven't had a chance to sample such a delight. It sounds positively smashing!

I did not mean any offense when I mentioned "perverse pleasures". I do recall that you revel in that sort of thing! If any offense was taken, good man, I sincerely apologise for my trespasses!

As for tea, what would be a good day for you? Friday? I can shut down the shop and we can have tea and cakes if you would like.
